Bacon bits: Bacon wins 'Meat Madness' challenge, and more recipes

So Good author/owner Jon Eick decided to hold the challenge during March so it would coincide with NCAA basketball's "March Madness" tournament, and bacon faced 31 other challengers from four meat "regions" ("Red" Meat, Pork, Chicken and Seafood). The championship round pitted bacon, the No. 1 Pork seed, against steak, the No. 1 "Red" Meat seed. Bacon was declared the winner Friday with 57% of the vote.

"While there are other meats that may or may not be as popular as bacon, no other meat has online supporters who are as fervent, motivated and organized as lovers of bacon," Eick says. In all, more than 10,000 votes were submitted during the tournament.
